The item number of data is respectively equal to or more than to delete the daily record data in the case of threshold value or the daily record data can be
Each transmission unit 35 is deleted when transmitting daily record data.
3. the processing executed in image output system
Fig. 5 is the flow chart for the processing for showing to be executed by described image output system 1.Herein, print command is being received
In the case of, the controller 21 is handled according to shown in the program execution 5 being stored in the memory 22.Shown in Fig. 2
Function realized by executing processing shown in fig. 5.
As shown in figure 5, first, the controller 21 starts resolution process (step S1).It is described in executing the processing
Multi-function device 20 receives the print command for coming from outer computer etc..It is assumed that the print command include with it is to be output
The corresponding data of image (for example, data of page description language form) and with the relevant letter of user that provides instruction and operation
Breath (for example, number of pages of the output page).In step sl, the controller 21 carries out resolution process and retouches the page received
The data conversion of linguistic form is stated into the image data of bitmap format etc..In the feelings that the print command for multiple images is presented
Under condition, the controller 21 by the data conversion at the image data of each image, and by described image data record in institute
It states in memory 22.
The controller 21 determines whether to have obtained the first item (step S2) of image data.In step s 2, the control
Device 21 processed consults the memory 22 and determines that the item of the image data of the multiple images of print command, which has been given, for it is
It is no to be recorded in the memory 22.If not determining the first item ("No" in step S2) for having obtained image data, institute
It states processing and is back to step S2.In this case, since resolution process is carrying out, the acquisition of image data needs to wait for.
Opposite, if it is determined that the first item ("Yes" in step S2) of image data is obtained, the controller 21 is opened
Beginning copy data generation handles (step S3).In step s3, the controller 21 carries out duplicated record in the memory 22
In image data processing, and copy data is recorded in the nonvolatile memory of the memory 22.
The controller 21 determines whether that the first item of copy data has been recorded in the memory 22 (step S4).Step
Determination method in rapid S4 and the determination method in step S2 are same or similar, and the determination of the controller 21 has been given for it
Whether the item for going out the copy data of the multiple images of print command has been recorded in the memory 22.If determination has not recorded
The first item ("No" in step S4) of copy data, the then processing are back to step S4.In this case, due to copy
Data generation processing (replication processes) is carrying out, and the generation of copy data needs to wait for.
On the contrary, if it is determined that the first item of copy data has been recorded in the memory 22 (in step S4
"Yes"), then the controller 21 starts daily record data generation processing (step S5).In step s 5, the controller 21 is based on
The copy data being recorded in the memory 22 and the described information being included in the print command start to generate day
Will data.For example, the controller 21 generates daily record data by the way that job logging is associated with daily record image by, the daily record
Image is generated by compressing or reducing the copy data being recorded in the memory 22.
The controller 21 identifies that the generation guarantee currently set is horizontal (step S6).It generates for identification and ensures level
Information storage is in the memory 22 is equal, and the controller 21 is according to the operation change by user or system manager's progress
The information.
In the case where low generation ensures horizontal (" low " in step S6), the controller 21 starts image output processing
(step S7).In the step s 7, the controller 21 based on the image data being recorded in the memory 22 from described image
Output unit 27 exports image.If the Xiang Wei of the image data of all images is created in the memory 22, the control
Device 21 processed executes the image output processing for the image for having obtained image data successively.
On the contrary, in the case where height generates guarantee level ("high" in step S6), the determination of the controller 21 will quilt
Whether the item of the copy data of all images of output has been recorded in the memory 22 (step S8).In step s 8, institute
It states controller 21 and determines whether the item of copy data corresponding with all images included in the print command has recorded
In the memory 22.
It is described if not determining that all items of copy data have been recorded in the memory 22 ("No" in step S8)
Processing is back to step S8.In this case, the controller 21 waits for the beginning of image output processing until for it
Item through providing the copy data of all images of print command has been recorded in the memory 22.
On the contrary, if it is determined that all items of copy data have been recorded in the memory 22 (in step S8
"Yes"), then the controller 21 starts image output processing (step S9).In step s 9, due to be directed to its have been given beat
The item for printing the image data of all images of instruction has been recorded in the memory 22, and the controller 21 is defeated from described image
Go out in unit 27 and exports all above-mentioned images.
In the case where image output device generates the data of the daily record for indicating image output processing really, above-mentioned figure
As output system 1 has mitigated the delay in image output processing.That is, the generation by daily record data is recorded in institute in copy data
Ensured when stating in memory 22, the multi-function device 20 starts image output processing.With image output processing until
Inchoate situation is compared after all generations of daily record data are completed, and image output is carved at the beginning of handling can be early again
Some.
In addition, described image output system 1 is corresponding with some images of ghost data by preliminarily starting
Image output processing and mitigated image output processing in delay.For example, in the case where low generation ensures horizontal, if
The item of the copy data of some images has been recorded in the memory 22, then the multi-function device 20 is thought and those images
The generation of corresponding daily record data ensured, and completed in the generation of the item for the copy data that need not wait until all images
In the case of, first carry out the image output processing of the image of ghost data.Therefore, the multi-function device 20 is in low generation
The delay in image output processing has been mitigated in the case of guarantee level in a more effective manner.

Device 20 starts image output processing.In this way, more reliably generate daily record data, also, with until daily record data
It generates the case where just starting image output processing after completing to compare, the delay in image output processing is mitigated.
4. improvement
The exemplary embodiment is not limited to above-described embodiment, and can make variation appropriate within its scope.
(1) for example, if the free space for stored copies data and the storage region of daily record data becomes smaller, i.e.,
Make 20 ghost data of the multi-function device, it is also possible to generation and the record of daily record data will not be carried out.In such case
Under, the generation of copy data can be cancelled or be waited for the multi-function device 20.
The free space of the data storage 30 becomes less than or equal to during the copy data of each image generates
In the case of threshold value (such as 1GB), the daily record generation unit 33 limits the generation of hereafter copy data.According to by system manager
Or the operation etc. that user carries out, the threshold value can be fixed value or can be changing value.In addition, the free space can be
The free space of memory itself or can be the region for wanting stored copies data and daily record data free space.In addition,
Hereafter the generation of copy data is the generation processing of the copy data for the image that its copy data does not generate yet.Notice above-mentioned limit
System can carry out in the case of low generation guarantee level.
Herein, the generation for limiting copy data corresponds to cancellation copy data generation processing or waits for and (postpone or wait) pair
Notebook data generation is handled.For example, if the execution of another print job is completed, the picture number generated in the print job
It is deleted from the data storage 30 according to, copy data etc., and this can wait for copy data increase while generating processing
Big free space.Therefore, described if waiting for the generation of copy data, and if free space becomes larger than or be equal to threshold value
Daily record generation unit 33 can restart ghost data.If copy data generation processing is cancelled, copy data can
It is deleted after resolution process terminates.
According to improvement (1), the generation of copy data is limited to the small situation of free space of the data storage 30
Under.
(2) in addition, for example, height generate ensure horizontal in the case of, if free space is in the generation phase of copy data
Between become smaller, really can generate daily record data with relevant operations such as image output processing by waiting for.
If the free space of the data storage 30 each image copy data generate during become less than or
Equal to threshold value, described image exports the limitation of execution unit 34 and handles relevant operation with image output.Processing phase is exported with image
The operation of pass be performed for image output processing and generate operation and include, for example, at resolution process, copy data generation
Reason, daily record data generation processing and image output processing.The limitation of operation corresponds to the cancellation of these processing or waits for these
Processing.
For improvement (1), if operation is waited for, free space can increase when completing another print job.At this
In the case of kind, the operation of waiting can restart.In addition, if cancelled an operation, the multi-function device 20 can should
Cancellation notice gives the user that the instruction for executing the operation has been given, and user can be promoted to re-execute the operation.
According to improvement (2), it is small in the free space of the data storage 30 to handle relevant operation with image output
In the case of limited.
(3) in addition, for example, if having not been transmitted to the daily record data increase of the managing device 10, at image output
The generation for managing relevant various operations can be limited.
If the item number of daily record data also to be transmitted becomes larger than or be equal to threshold value, described image exports execution unit
34 limitations handle the generation of relevant operation with image output.The item number of daily record data also to be transmitted is accumulation in the number
According to the item number of the daily record data in memory 30.In addition, herein, the generation for limiting operation can correspond to the generation of not new job
Or newly-generated operation number is decreased below to the operation number generated (before limiting) under normal circumstances.It notices according to user
Operation etc., the threshold value can be fixed value or can be changing value.
According to improvement (3), it is big in the item number of daily record data also to be transmitted to handle relevant operation with image output
In the case of limited.
(4) in addition, for example, old daily record data can be deleted, for example, having not been transmitted to the daily record of the managing device 10
In the case of the item numbers of data is increased.
In the case where the item number of daily record data also to be transmitted becomes larger than or is equal to threshold value, the daily record generates single
The sequence that first 33 items based on daily record data also to be transmitted have been accumulated deletes at least one also daily record to be transmitted
The item of data.For example, the relevant information of cumulative orders in memory 22 described in each Xiang Yuyu of daily record data is associated.
When recording the daily record data of generation in the memory 22, the daily record generation unit 33 is to the daily record number
According to increase and the order dependent information.The information can indicate the number of the sequence or can be and time and date
Relevant information.The daily record generation unit 33 is deleted one or more oldest among the item of daily record data also to be transmitted
Daily record data item.For example, the daily record generation unit 33 deletes the item of daily record data, the item number etc. of deleted daily record data
Difference between the item number and threshold value of daily record data also to be transmitted.
According to improvement (4), in the case where the item number of daily record data also to be transmitted is big, according to also to be transmitted
The stored sequence of item of daily record data deletes the item for also having daily record data to be transmitted.
(5) in addition, for example, daily record data is transferred to 10 (operation unit of the managing device when executing operation every time
Automatic transmission) in the case of, if daily record data is transmitted to the management by image output processing in the multi-function device 20
Start after device 10, then safety is improved.However, in this case, due to delaying opening for image output processing
Begin, image output processing can start when some of daily record data are transmitted.
Fig. 6 is the schematic diagram for the execution time for showing each to handle in improvement (5).Moment t shown in fig. 611To the moment
t14With moment t17T at the time of respectively as shown in figure 31To moment t5It is identical.As shown in fig. 6, the generation in daily record data completes it
Before (moment t17Before), the daily record data generated some are transmitted to the managing device by the transmission unit 35
10.Some of daily record data are the data except those of daily record data corresponding with copy data item, and can be,
For example, a part (for example, being only used for identifying the user for executing operation and for identification information of operation) for job logging.
For example, (the moment t after the generation of copy data is completed14), a part for job logging is transmitted to by the transmission unit 35
The managing device 10.It should be noted that at that point, it is assumed that the part of job logging has generated.
Daily record data some transmitted after (in moment t15Later) and before the generation of daily record data completion
(in moment t17Before), described image output execution unit 34 starts image output processing.That is, described image exports execution unit
The pending image output processing such as 34 are until moment t15.In addition, (the moment t when the generation of daily record data is completed17), it is described
The daily record data of generation is transmitted to the managing device 10 by transmission unit 35.For example, when the generation of daily record data is completed
(moment t17) and (the moment t when image output processing is completed16), the transmission unit 35 transmits the daily record data.
According to improvement (5), the daily record data generated some transmitted after, start at image output
Reason.Thus, for example, the multi-function device 20 by a minimum part for job logging by being only transmitted to the managing device 10
And ensure daily record data, and start image output processing, thus effectively mitigate delay.
It should be noted that in improvement (5), (intermediate conveyor) can basis at the time of transmitting a part for job logging
The type of image output processing changes.For example, in the case where being related to outputting and inputting the operation of image, job logging
A part can be transmitted when ghost data；It is relating only to the operation of output or is being related to the defeated of multiple documents
In the case of the operation gone out, a part for job logging can be transmitted after having confirmed that ghost data.
(6) in addition, for example, can be combined to above-mentioned improvement.
In addition, for example, generating the case where guarantee level is set although having been described above, generation ensures horizontal big
It can need not be set.In this case, image output processing is initially enough in any of the above-described start time.
In addition, although in the case where daily record data includes daily record image and job logging has been described above, only one
Daily record image likely corresponds to daily record data.In this case, job logging may be associated with daily record data.In addition, depositing
The data for being stored in daily record data are not limited to examples detailed above, and the data of the daily record of image output processing are included in day for identification
It is exactly enough in will data.
In addition, although being transferred to the managing device 10 to the daily record data generated by the multi-function device 20
